I had to do this post straight away!! i know you'd appreciate it. Look what my son has just recieved in the post (not a great photo i'm afraid). Back in December my son won Milkshakes Noddy drawing competition and recieved tons of toys and a visit from Noddy. It also included a limited addition large framed print, but after months of waiting it didn't come. Finally after lots of talks with Milkshake it is here!! i think i'm more excited than he is!! i love it!!

While he was waiting, last week he was given the new noddy remote control plane as a sorry, that isn't in the shops yet. So the wait was worth it.

I recieved my seaside swap from Bexbuttons yesterday. I'm saving the lovely story for our summer holiday and the jingly whales are in the conservatory/playroom. What a gorgeous little bag filled with buttons!!!! Thank you Bex i love my goodies xx

Here is what i sent:This is the most creative i have been for a swap so far and really enjoyed it. I made a little beach hut picture, a card, a smelly fish and a beach heart heart, i also got a sea and sand yankee candle, notebook, a lovely little book, some seashell chocs, a icecream biscuit cutter, a beach hut magnet, seaside rock and a collection of shells from the 2 little boys. The boys are getting into these swaps too now!! the eldest even asked me to buy a dolphin emery board that he saw!!(not pictured)

Last week we went to see this in London - what a great show - very fun!!

After, we headed into Covent Garden for a spot of shopping.I picked up these lovely postcards from Paperchase. I love the Belle and Boo one for my littlests room and i'm going to give the other one to a friend. I also got my eldest this birthday card -he loves Roald Dahl. I couldn't resist these love badges for me, they have a great stationary range with these pics on too.

This gorgeous coloured scarf was in the Oasis sale.

I got these from a little beads shop near the seven dials in Covent Garden. I am going to but the teapot in my dollshouse, the butterfly i will wear on a chain and i'm going to make a little I believe Tink bell with the bell.

Had to pop into the CK sale. I got the eldest this Stanley tee and a lovely rubber ring for our holiday.

Look at this gorgeous brochure for jelly pong pong. Love that name!! and such a pretty shop. And got some samples in Kiehls.

I love Urban outfitters-it's great for gifts. My eldest bought the silly drinking straw and i got him the bike plane to keep for his birthday that is coming up in a few weeks. I got this book for my father in laws birthday - it looks like a giant matchbox - when you slide the book out, it's covered with a picture of matches. I got myself the lovely book a few pics down:

Audrey Hepburn:

For attractive lips,Speak words of kindness.For lovely eyes,Seek out the good in people.For a slim figure,Share your food with the hungry.For beautiful hair,Let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.For poise,Walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.People, even more than things,Have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed,And redeemed; never throw out anyone.Remember, if you ever need a helping hand,You will find one at the end of each of your arms.As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands;One for helping yourself, and the other for helping others
